so i bought a saitek eclipse and really enjoy it. however, i'm not able to take screenshots!

i've tried pressing the screenshot key (for the entire screen) and alt+screenshot (for the current window) and neither works.

does anyone know how to get this keyboard to take screenshots?
 
Hmm... I've got an Eclipse but I have no screenshot taking issues. Does this happen for all games or just one or two games?
 
I don't mean to insult you, but you do know that pressing the Print Screen key or alt+Print Screen only makes a copy of the screen that you need to paste into into MSpaint, right?

I also have this keyboard and it works fine for me. Maybe try third-party software like Snagit or grabclipsave?

i mainly need to take screenshots of web pages.

for those who can do this, what buttons do you press?

thanks for your help.

After you do the "Print screen" or "ctrl-Printscreen", open up Paint and hit ctrl-v to paste the image in there. Then you can save it and do whatever else you may need to do with it.

Third party software like snagit will instantly save your screenshot to a designated folder, whereas with no third party software, you have to paste it into paint and go from there.

I bought an Eclipse and it had faulty ctrl, alt, shift, sound and light control keys, so take yours back, I did and got a new one.

PrintScreen. It copies whatever is on your screen to the clipboard and then you can paste it into almost any program.

so none of those keys would work at all, or just in certain programs?

so you just press prtscrn and you can paste into photoshop without problems?

if so, i'm taking mine back.
 
maybe you can even bind print screen to do something else like in a game. That should let you know for sure if it is broken or not.

Maybe you have a broken PrtScrn key? You could try a keyboard testing program. I googled up this one

taqueso, thank you, you're a genius.

after using this program, guess what key i found doesn't work?

yep, prtscrn.

this crap's going back.

thanks all for the help.
